December 30, 2019 – January 1, 2020
All I have to say is I think I did really well on December 30th and 31st. I tracked everything I consumed and even managed to hit the gym a few times which is a big WIN in my book! By all means I wasn’t perfect, but I was paying attention and feel that is half the battle!
For the dinner party we went to on the 30th, I only had one small helping of lasagna and two very small pieces of garlic bread. I love garlic bread. I mean really love it so much that it wouldn’t be unheard of for me to eat a half loaf myself…and that’s crazy I know. I also went into the dinner party having eaten a snack so I wasn’t starving which also helped.
On New Year’s Eve I also didn’t do half bad. I had a glass of wine with dinner and then two light beers throughout the evening as we rung in the New Year. We did go out to dinner and I did over serve myself on bread. Seriously, bread and chocolate are my total downfalls. I only ate a small portion of my pasta and brought the rest home for the kids to eat.
New Year’s Day was not a perfect day. We snacked throughout the day and then had Portillo’s Italian Beef for dinner and various desserts. Someone had the audacity to bring pixies. I haven’t been known to turn down a pixie. My only hope is that when I go back to work, the children consumer the remainder of the pixies and I can move on with my life.
So what’s in store for 2020? Continue with tracking. I want to start with a straight week of solid tracking (beginning January 2nd) and drinking 100 oz of liquid a day. Right now I consider coffee liquid which I know probably isn’t the best but it’s baby steps. I also only drink two glasses a day. I got this.
